Nokia Unveils Four New Nokia Supernova Phones

Recognizing that no one style fits all, Nokia today unveiled a new range of products to let consumers express their personal styles on a number of levels ranging from stylish designs, to personalization through vibrantly hued exchangeable covers.

The first four devices to launch as part of the new Nokia Supernova range feature a mix of bold colors and of-the-moment designs, evoking the allure of the latest statement handbags or must-have sunglasses. Aimed at style conscious men and women who want to stay connected, the new range delivers exceptional mobile functionality alongside a variety of music and internet experiences.

“As we rely more heavily on mobile phones to stay connected, they increasingly know everything about us and have become a window into our worlds,” said Jo Harlow, vice president, LIVE category, Nokia. “With the Supernova range, we set out to give people the ability to set themselves apart in the same way that they would with a traditional statement accessory.”

The phone also have new design user interface and allows for basic on-device video editing.

The Soulb is being positioned as Samsung’s next mainstream fashion phone and will ship in five colors ranging from a safer gray to pink and violet. A quick launch is planned for Germany, where the phone will be available from early June; the company expects a much wider launch that should include nearly all of the world. North America isn’t included in the list for the current version of the phone, which lacks 850MHz band support for its calling and 3G Internet access.
